JR., OF EDENTON.

Economist.
The Pound-net fishermen disclaim
any antagonism against the seine
fishermen. They do not desire any
curtailment Of their fishing privileges
or any interference with the law pro-
tecting them. Nearly all the seine
fishermen express a kindly feeling,
in public, for fishermen OF humble
pretentions, and while some of the
former are believed to be sincere,
there are those who never fail to
strike at them when an occasion
occurs, and when they think they will
not be suspected.
From two miles eastward of Roam
Oke River, to Terrapin Point thence
around Black Walnut Point to twenty
miles up the Chowan River, on the
South side, Pound nets and other
small fishers are excluded, with two
eXceptions,) either on account of the
law pertaining to Rivers and seines,
or are forbidden landing by the
land owners. These shores are owned
within three families. They control
the prices and sales of fish to all the
country back of the u, which is con
siderable object, ana Herring are
readily disposed of at 5000 $500
per thousand, more tuan they can be
sold for at Edenton. or anywhere on
the north side. Buyers hear of the
difference in price and complain of it. ]
They are invariably informed. that
Dutch nets are breaking up the fish,
and the quantity caught does not
justify them in reducing the price, SO
the monopoly continues. Being cut !
off from access to the water, people in |
BERTHE county are induced TO sign |
petitions to curtail the privileges of |
POnn1 net fishermen, without know
ing anything about them.

barrel and $500 per barrel.
Pound fishermen claim that their
nets are propagators Of fish. Their !
hedges being stationary, afford protec- {

been engaged in the oyster packing
business for over twenty years, and
who is well posted on the grounds
and cultivation of the oyster, is
strongly in favor Of cultivating the
oyster as any other crops are cult.
waited. In New York, Connecticut,
Rhode Island and other states,
where the laws protect the planters,
great opposition is springing up in
this branch of industry. And why,
says Mr.. Shriver ? Simply because
those States have protected the
planters, and have given the right
to farm oysters as any other crop;
and the art of cultivating oysters is
as susceptible of brain work as
the cereal farming. Again, Balti-
more once known as the great oyster
market of the world, is at certain
times entirely devoid Of oysters-it
being against the law to catch them
except at certain times. But where
States allow planting and protect
planting, oysters can be had the
year round; and it is now a we'll
known fact that New York furnish
es all the oysters used in the West
and North long before we can, un-
der our laws, ship an oyster. Why /?
Because they have planted oysters,
which. being private property, are
cultivated, and, like sensible peo-
pie, they only take the best and
those That are fully grown, and
ship, and this has given them a
better standing than half grown
oysters or oysters of mixed sizes"
Mr.. Shrivcr adds that he has
come to the conclusion that the
present oyster law Of Maryland is a
failure so far as it tends to improve
the size and quality of the oyster.
lie thinks to improve the oyster one
of the following methods should be
adopted First, do away with the
law that compels the oyster captains
to take an oath not to catch oysters
on certain points or bars called nat
ural beds, these beirg reserved for
the so-called tongers. There should
be no restrictions in the Chesapeake
bay. 1t should be open to all, both
dredgers and tongers alike. Sec
ond. let no oysters under a given
size be brought to market.
On the natural beds where no
restrictions have been placed the
oysters, having been what is called
broken up and scattered, are now
the best oysters that are brought to
market. The natural beds reserved
are crowded, and, as consequence,
are small and Indifferent. The best
way to improve those places would
be to break them up and get new
growth of oysters. Mr.. Shriver
says the natural beds produce faster
than the tongmen can catch them;
hence the poor quality.
Ii the State wants to realize the
full value of the bay and to reap a
good revenue, there is but one way
to accomplish this, and that is to
sell the bottom of the bay as any
other public domain, guaranteeing
protection to all, allowing the catch
ing of oysters at the will of the
owner, and the bringing of oysters
to market at any time. The nat
ural beds, as we'll as other portions
of the bay, should be sold to the
highest bidder.

A Washington newspaper elabo-

by Mrs. Cleveland at a concert re-
Gently given at the house of Secre-
tary Whitney, and then says that
"Mrs. Cleveland left as soon as the
programme was concluded, it being
time for the Presidents dinner. "
Everybody must admire the dutiful
wife who will not keep her husband
waiting for dinner, even for the
sake of entertaining friends; but at
what peculiar hour do they have
concerts in Washington, and when
does the President dine? There is
irregularity somewhere in this bus
mess.
